DIY Baofeng Repair: Eliminate Spurious Emissions In Minutes!

Last week I introduced the 25th Anniversary Baofeng and we discovered it does not pass FCC standard on the second harmonic. I set out to fix that by reusing the orange case on another Baofeng.

2 iPhone Apps Every Ham Radio Operator Needs Right Now — WSPR Watch & HamAlert | K6UDA

2 iPhone Apps Every Ham Radio Operator Needs Right Now — WSPR Watch & HamAlert | K6UDA

📱 WSPR Watch & HamAlert — 2 iPhone Apps Every Ham Needs | K6UDA Radio
Your phone can do a lot more for your ham radio operation than you think. Bob, K6UDA, demos two powerful and completely free iPhone apps that give you real-time visibility into your spots, propagation, and DX activity — right in your pocket.

🔭 APP #1 — WSPR Watch
A graphical spot viewer for WSPRnet. See exactly who’s hearing you on digital modes, on a clean visual map and table. Tap any spot to pull up the callsign on QRZ. Export your data as CSV for deeper analysis. If you run WSPR beacons and you’re still checking wsprnet.org in a browser, you’re doing it the hard way.

🔔 APP #2 — HamAlert
Never miss a DX spot again. HamAlert sends push notifications straight to your iPhone the moment a station you care about appears on the DX cluster, Reverse Beacon Network, SOTAwatch, POTA, or PSK Reporter. Set up triggers by callsign, DXCC, band, mode, CQ zone, summit, park reference — and get buzzed the second that rare DX or SOTA activator hits the air.

In this video Bob covers:
✅ WSPR Watch walkthrough — maps, tables, spot details & QRZ lookup
✅ HamAlert setup — triggers, filters, and push notification config
✅ Real-world demo of both apps in action
✅ Who these apps are for (and who can skip them)
✅ Tips for getting the most out of each app

Both apps are FREE on the App Store. No excuses.
